Axle bearings replacement

[ita_5]

Hi, first gen Direto worked great until few months ago. It survived Covid and belt replacement. Actually it still works but it became very very noisy. Still with hearphones has become quite impossible to ride indoor.

So I disassembled it. I thought the problem was the key shaft of the bel pulley. Cleaned and greased but still the noise is there. I am quite sure the problem are the bearings of the shaft of the flywheel.

Is there any way to remove it and change it?

Is it possible to send it to elite and have it repaired or get a discount to buy a new indoor trainer?

Or I just have to throw it away ?
